These Lights so called 'REAR FOGLIGHTS' we need to have them here in EURO Land
Side-indicators are located at the upper left of the front fenders they have changed also since 08.2005. Im not sure if US cars have these also... The new ones are longer and thinner.

@talwang - i wonder were u dig all these secret images off!!! (my respect!)
I thought that the front-b. would already fit - now i see it in real - dosen't look to bad in my opinion... saves a lot of money too.

That is why you need rominl to experiment them for you.
I don't know if they really have this conversion harness for sale or just modify the existing parts to make them work.
If they have it for sale, I'll find it sooner or later.

Above this - the side-indicators won't fit (new fender or some cutting n welding work required).

Is that a TTE or Tom's muffler you have in that pic?

YES - It is the TTE one (130 mm oval tip). I was on BLITZ til the day before yesterday. Quality and fitting of the TTE exhaust is much ahead of the BLITZ TT/R. Sound is slightly different - a bite more agressive. But my general motor setup might be different from yours. (BLITZ SUS Intake, SARD Catalysers, TOM's Frontpipe).

ummm very interesting to see the 06 headlights with the 02-05 bumper. doesn't seem like it's too bad at all. i wonder if that bumper was modified. i remember GEEBEE said that he had quite some gap?

i wonder what's the difference between the 4 and 5 wire setup, maybe coz' the new headlights have the adaptive function and it more signals? gamma, you are our hope

(well, not like i have the money for this mod anyway)

Just wondering... If one has only the intentions of swapping out the 02-05 headlights w/ the 06+ headlights, what exactly needs to be changed? ONLY the headlights, not the motor function for adjusting the headlights tilt?

The swap itself wouldn't be the problem. But the new 'level'-motor has only four wires whereas the prefacelift connector has five. So an exact pin layout of both connectors would great to look at.
Maybe it is possible to swap the whole motor...!?

So I can get a 2005 SC and buy the 06+ headlights and swap them out and there would be no more things I would have to have swapped? Like the headlights swap out just like the taillights?

The AFL wouldn't work for sure, but the up/down move should...
I've written several e-mails to japan, but no answer. Seems they won't share the secret with us...

p.s. in the meantime i replaced/coated the interior of the roof/pillars/etc. with black alcantara - looks very nice by the way...

You wrote to them in Japanese, right?
They would probably ignore you if you wrote to them in English.
